Released in 2017, the A. Lange & Söhne "Blue Series" was part of a limited production selection of restyled models which all featured similar blue dials. The other models were the Lange 1 Daymatic, Saxonia, and Saxonia Automatic. The series took its interesting blue dial design from older, classical pieces like Lange's reference 101.027 from the 1990's.
Instantly recognizable, the dial layout is visually well balanced thanks to the proportions, which were calculated following the Golden Ratio. Inside, the watch houses the 2015 caliber L121.1, a manual wind movement with big date, hour, minute, and small seconds complications boasting a 72-hour power reserve. Furthermore, the balance-cock features the signature artistic flourish engraved by one of Lange’s master engravers.
With the growing appreciation of the famous Lange 1 in recent times, it is perhaps the wristwatch that best epitomizes the essence of the famed German manufacturer. The present example ref. 191.028 with a blue dial, is one of the best iterations of the model ever produced exuding a unique timeless appeal. Produced in low quantities, this is the perfect chance for collectors seeking their next elusive Lange timepiece.
Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
